The show brings together portraits, composite works that combine printmaking, collage, and embroidery, and glass sculptures. Its title references the book\u00a0<em>Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity<\/em>\u00a0(2009) by Cuban theorist Jos\u00e9 Esteban Mu\u00f1oz, who proposes a shift in time and space to reveal the insufficiency of the present and open up the possibility of imagining alternative futures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Baeza incorporates Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s ideas and in turn imagines these futures by depicting bodies in transformation: suspended, in a state of escape, lacking a fixed identity or sense of belonging. His figures defy imposed limits and find new ways of inhabiting the world. The artist uses titles such as\u00a0<em>A form that never settles II<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>A self that is not quite here<\/em>\u00a0<em>but always in process<\/em>\u00a0to reinforce this notion of constant change\u2014 of beings in flux who reject stability and embrace the unpredictable and the unfinished.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Material processes are essential in Baeza\u2019s work. He allows pigments to seep into the paper and materials to retain their autonomy, followed by a deliberate process of erosion and abrasion; generating fluid and uncertain results. This technique resonates with the corporealities he portrays\u2014 always shifting, refusing a fixed definition.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>His creative process functions as a collage in itself. The bodies in his works take shape through fragments of paper he has collected over the years. \u201cWe are a combination of different times,\u201d says Baeza, and his pieces reflect this: layers of color, plaster, and other materials accumulate on the paper like a skin in transformation. In this way, the surface acquires its own memory, holding remnants of past and present moments that, as they overlap, construct new possibilities of existence.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 photo: clifford prince king To feel a then and there\u00a0is Felipe Baeza\u2019s first solo exhibition at kurimanzutto.
